Scripture Equips Us for Life

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. [2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)]

Make me diligent in studying your word, Lord, so that I will not only recognize right from wrong but know how to set right what is wrong. Lead me in my reading; give me discernment to understand what I read; and then show me how to apply your word to everyday life.
